cairo was such a flame overnight by thousands of. protesters who attacked the presidential palace with petrol bombs there were tough response from police with tear gas and water cannons over fifty people at least one dead. and a red faced pentagon is left to explain how iranian fuel wound up u.s. war machines conflicts this in violation of america's very own embargo against the islamic state. east or west home is best government plans to persuade romanians and bulgarians that the old saying is true that fear is the inflow of immigrants will become open. and russia seventy years since the battle of stalingrad the bloodiest fighting human history which cost about two million lives but ultimately changed the very course of

a second world war. a very warm welcome to you from all of us here with. i'm with you all global news. violent protests have swept several egyptian cities overnight in cairo the wave of rioting reached the presidential palace for the first time now in more than a week of turmoil a petrol bomb over the gates with thousands demanding the president steps down police responded with tear gas and heavy water cannons at least one person was killed fifty injured in the clashes reporter bill true was there so watch it all happen. i personally witnessed a lot of police brutality there's been a criticism of the police in the ministry of interior off the footage was broadcast

all the proof of a protester. beaten and trying to cross the tarmac i saw this with my own eyes it could just but i this balcony the man who did not picture any resistance or any threats towards the police caught his trousers by his ankles was trying to face down and then a hit with truncheons before being taken off in a vehicle and later i also saw police come down an employee of a restaurant just off the front line the man was trying to get home he said before the police officer armed with but shot to shot him he fell to the ground which makes taken by an ambulance this comes off protest is three more talks on the promise yesterday after which the security forces of replying to the excessive use of tear gas many people are condemning the police this morning saying this is another example of all police brutality just to make insecurity pulled his hands of one of the keep them on to the revolution something the president must address there are still people on the hurry square and protest plans in the future

opposition forces on not it's backing down the has been calls from both sides for dialogue the president said and so awesome dialogue with the opposition forces ahmed el baradei one of the leaders of another salvation front said he would engage in dialogue on the condition that they would be the day the government would be to resign and national salvation government would take over and the constitution would be revoked the president himself has said he will not listen to these said preconditions we do see this we see this kind of company any time in the future so we expect the violence in the streets the protests across. the reporter bill true there in cairo in the meantime activist in journalist chandan so as the developments in egypt show that ultimately no one is manning the helm anymore. egypt has been totally destabilized and remember the egyptian government is waiting for what the egyptians called the loan from sunday look there's a protest is

a popular protest song about the world bank i.m.f. loan to egypt and all the western newspapers and analysts are saying well egypt's not going to get that loan if this is the destabilisation by its visiting upon the country but the thing is what who can control things in egypt now now a popular slogan of the arab spring which i call the arab sting for nato has been the fia has gone but perhaps the fee has gone by along with the fia so has any sense of security and nation building and state building so really can anyone control what's going on and this is this is rooted partly as well because of the trial against those who accused of being guilty off the off the the deaths at the football match so really it's also it's also you know openly said that nola can control anything in egypt are currently. twitter feed for the latest on what's going on in cairo true report we saw just a few moments ago she's also posting. still to come on the program here on for

example. the. cost of. the french leaders crusade visit to the north african state. of justification of. terror. the inconsistency of the west's approach could be behind the deadlock in syria's ongoing standoff. for now though america's forces in afghanistan may have been running on iranian oil that's clear violation of washington's own fuel embargo against the islamic state the pentagon has admitted it can't vouch for the source of years worth of fuel due to a very complicated supply system. picks up the story. the u.s. gives money to the afghan government to buy fuel for its forces now u.s. officials especially specter general for afghanistan reconstruction say they cannot

verify that the fuel purchased for afghan security forces in recent years did not come from iran it could be their way of saying that it probably did come from the wrong and it could mean that the u.s. has violated its own actions there violating u.s. taxpayer dollars go to even coffers those sanctions that the u.s. has put in place not only bar u.s. companies from doing business with iran but also punish third party countries for doing business with iran but no matter how many rounds of sanctions are in effect they were never watertight even though the european union under a lot of pressure from washington stopped buying uranium oil you have a host of other countries that still do iran's biggest buyer now biggest buyers now are china india and japan and these countries are oil thirsty especially china so china up its imports of uranium oil india's imports of iranian crude were up thirty percent according to tanker arrival data western sanctions have it rains

oil exports in two thousand and twelve leading to a very deep plunge in the arabian currency but continuous robust demand from its top buyers as well as the purchase of new tankers allowed the way into unexpectedly boost exports late last year despite the sanctions the u.s. . but he's especially china to stop buying from iran political and economic ramifications of such pressure would be significant but the u.s. government is trying their prompting those other countries to buy oil from washington's allies saudis and katori so you can imagine how happy the gulf states are about this whole new business coming in but washington is resolute to put more pressure on other countries to put forward more threats like cutting them off from the u.s. banking system so to many countries the situation starts to look more like blackmail than anything else and was regards to iran and blackmail is essentially what the

u.s. calls diplomacy which by the way is not working but washington acts to hold not only ran hostage to sanctions but the whole world which is of course creating more tension. great creative fuel.

he said. the civil war in syria. was. the underlying theme of so again a lot of rope speech was a few cheap. foreign partners furthering discussion however it was certainly not all sweetness and light from the russian foreign minister one of those questions that he said russia wanted to put to the western partners was how could the west justify their quest for regime change in certain countries while turning

a blind eye to acts of terror this is just one of many times he either alluded to or mentioned by name the conflict in syria talking about acts of terror committed by the opposition troops opposition forces within syria there against the army against civilians now he also went on to ask the question of who decides which state is a candidate for regime change it seems that some are wary some aren't looking at the ongoing situation in syria where it's been deemed that bashar al assad must step aside by foreign powers not once again reiterated today by the united states vice president joe biden in his address here in munich where is some states aren't considered candidates thinking more about the gulf monarchies where we've also seen protests in public uprising there the foreign minister lavrov spoke direct to those western powers when he talks about furthering international discussion saying that

if well they kept their promises to speak to all sides in the syrian conflict that not conflict could well be over by now. he's put all of our right there on the foreign minister sergei lavrov has also met with the leader of syria's kyo position group for the first time off there were set up in november last year we bring you up many more details on them as soon as we can. for now reports of extra judicial killings by the milian army have now escalated all the way to the united nations blocks anti genocide and voice says he's deeply concerned by claims about activist scuse me by activists that the army which is largely backed by french troops is committing ethnic reprisal attacks and other atrocities and this comes as francois hollande is on a visit to the north african country where his forces are fighting islamic radicals and while there the french president announced the mission won't be long and will wrap up in just a few weeks strasburg based journalist robert harness believes ireland is simply

trying to score cheap political points with the truth. a year ago this is a window of opportunity to present this is of great french excess which militarily technically tactically certainly looks like let's be honest but it's his opportunity because clearly in the background there is considerable american assistance there now british troops coming in there talking about eight thousand african troops it's not going to be further out i may say the french are very reluctant to approach the algerians from to go too closely because algeria and france as you know have a long history with. bitterness civil war i think this may well be the last chance on house to claim a victory before it all becomes obviously an allied operation it's good to have you with us here on r.t. today britain is removing the welcome sign from its doors this was the government fears the flow of migrants into the country might skyrocket the authorities think

that promoting the u.k. as a great destination may have gone just a bit too far it is probably as the story. as one official put it the negative ad campaign about britain would help to dispel the myth that the streets in the u.k. all paved with gold and the politicians certainly are worried and they've got it wrong in the past the previous year was the year of the olympics and politicians trump and trumpeting great britain and how long john in britain is the best destination the world billions of pounds poured into advertising to really sell the u.k. but it seems that for immigrants potential immigrants from rumania and from bol garia the message is that britain isn't so great after all so a lot of people used to use that sort of was quite farcical the fact that the government is willing to trash its own image and to admit that there are problems with the economy in disarray that there's

a housing crisis and that there are problems with schools and hospitals everyone's been having a good old chuckle over the idea of a negative ad campaign and yes some people have actually said that it's quite insulting but remain ians them for vogue ariens but one newspaper has even suggested that people send in their own suggestions for what an anti britain poster would look like and the result has been really quite scathing and quite harsh to britain as a country we've got slogans that include u.k. yuck and come to britain and clean the toilets or even britain we haven't left ourselves because the public transport isn't running so people very sort of mocking at the same time but quite scathing about the country westminster is bound by law so they have to follow these rules and they have to allow anybody who wishes to come over in twenty fourteen to enter the country but a lot of citizens in the u.k. feel that it's insulting to those people and

a waste of money having advertised britain previously. it is a political reporting right well as britain is highlighting all the downsides of living there romania has launched his own p.r. campaign beautiful women the look like kate middleton and very cheap booze old appearing on the list of the main advantages of living there we've got a collection of the posters the broad ad campaign that's at artsy dot com. well i still to come for you a bit later in the hour here on the program a hatred of racism in the israel football league takes a look at the jerusalem team making its extreme right of the story bring. up plus the u.s. expresses outrage over the terrible thing of the american embassy in turkey some critics say it's washington's practice of poking its nose into other country's affairs which ultimately provoked the attack more on that and other stories. right .

here the reindeer is interesting for the herders. and when it suffers. people do their best to help. but the distances are. predictable.

thanks very much for joining us here. today i'm wrong research i live in moscow. washington has issued sharp the condemnation of what it described as a terror attack in the turkish capital ankara or suicide bomber blew himself up right in front of the u.s. embassy killing a security guard american authorities say it's not yet clear who is behind the blast he is pinning the blame on a far left and to us group lawrence freeman from the executive intelligence review magazine believes the foreign policies of both countries are drawing anger from radicals it's obvious right now that there's

a whole escalation. tire legion going from north. to literally and president. obama administration. british police there is has obviously inflamed. the insurgents to the point that they are now targeting these western powers however the united states and the british and the french are also supporting tens of thousands of jihadi treatments in syria and in other parts of the region so you have welcomed where trained terrorists on the border region with turkey and syria probably now inside turkey so i think this is very bad news is obviously great opposition inside turkey and i think the the president other prime minister is behaving foolish to actually have

this close working relationship with the west and he's actually undermining his own country and his own security. well at a recent football team whose fans are rather well known for chanting racist anti arab slogans has now signed to muslims for the first time a supporters are openly disappointed at the move which some say is like a welcoming in the enemy polis their reports on the boiling anger that's never far from spinning out of. the games in there but the actions out here the israeli football team they told us of them is making headlines not for what it does on the pitch but what it does oafish the only leading team in the country never to have signed an arab player because of fan pressure h.r. is a bastion of israel's political white if i am one other thing i am the don't love the enemy will be a player in my team and i could see. that it was.

a chance like this we hate all arabs only the talk of the races croquet no it doesn't happen often but tonight's match is between d'etat jerusalem and a local israeli arab team the police are not taking any chances which is why these gates are for the jewish fans and the other side of the stadium is for the palestinian supporters now the match has just finished and as you see the bay tajiri some supporters are walking out behind me but it will be another hour and a half if for the police give permission to the arab fans to leave the stadium but keeping the two sides apart does little to dispel the hatred in march last year hundreds of baitullah fans rampaged through jerusalem off to a game chanting death to the arabs and randomly attacking arab workers orders are born they try to say that there are just a few resources five to twenty people but that's not right racism is in the d.n.a. of the steam it's in their blood. we fought to is a football legend in israel he was the first arab to play for israel national team

and to represent the country at the olympic games. i remember playing against the steam their supporters cursed me because i'm an arab muslim if this is not racism what is it that problem is about to get a whole lot bigger team owner russian israeli tycoon at a coyote guide to mecca recently announced his decision to hire two muslim payers from chechnya and. it's no good they're doing it for nothing these players from church deal with the jewish people who are not with the team and we have different values that. while other countries have faced international sanctions for racist and frank mitsch by france israel has so far voided such close scrutiny but fears are growing that the beautiful game there is slowly being turned into a source of violence racism and hatred policy r.t. . or to start a new pakistan let's get into it head first now with the r.t. world update an assault on an army outpost in the northern part of pakistan has

left thirty five dead including twelve attackers the pakistan taliban was quick to claim responsibility ten civilians all from the same family and thirteen soldiers were among those killed a spokesman for the armed group said it was retaliate for a drone strike on two taliban commanders last month just another blast yesterday just about sixty kilometers to the north left twenty six dead. the spanish prime minister being forced to deny he received more than two hundred fifty thousand euros worth of secret payments over a ten year period speaking in front of his conservative party and said he will post his tax declarations online to prove the allegations are false the scandal erupted last thursday when a national spanish newspaper published records allegedly showing prominent members of the ruling party taking a hit in donations. and a quarter of a million twitter users have had their accounts hacked and the company's

information security director admitted to user names e-mails and other data had been stolen along with logon passwords twitter said professionals were behind the attack and pointed to similarities between this one and a previous hack of the new york times which the newspaper blamed on chinese based operators. well it was or the bloodiest battle in human history and a turning point in world war two seventy years ago the serbia union snatched a victory in style in grad defeating the nazi death machine artist on barton follow the commemoration. the parade here in modern day volgograd is to mark the end of that terrible battle seventy years ago with a parade by troops the laying of wreaths from the various delegations and the assembled crowds here remembering all those people that died there as many as two million the top estimates say there's also

a little bit of control to see surrounding the name stalin graft the city is now called volgograd. but the city administration say that they want on certain special days to once again refer to it by its old name stalingrad which is a controversial decision given its connection to that controversial figure stalin himself but as for this parade today this commemorative event it will forever have the connection the word stalingrad not with this place but with what happened here. seventy years ago the nazi war machine failed at stalingrad. here a reconstruction of the german surrender and dre is playing the part of friedrich palace promoted the day before to field marshal by hitler in a bid to stop him capitulating. when paula's realized that hitler wanted him to commit suicide he said he wouldn't give him such pleasure and he chose to live. for

nazi germany this military disaster was the moment hitler's hubris really caught up with him for the soviet union it was at last a decisive victory over the invaders the ravage so much of the country this basement of stalingrad the largest department store had become palaces last headquarters soviet officers entered to find it packed with wounded starving and freezing german soldiers this is what had become of what had started out as the largest army the world had ever seen. the vermont six army had surged up to the city in the summer of one nine hundred forty two hitler wanted to clear the way to the oil of the caucasus but stalin grad but first a sideshow became an object of obsession for both him and stalin fyodor fought for his very life battling house to house as the germans and their allies took ninety percent of the city for the quest and. towering red it was how the ball there was

a re were firing and when we went to get water from it it was water and blood mixed . in november soviet commander of sprung a huge trap cutting german forces off from their supply lines surrounding them inside the frozen city by the end of january it was all but over the city was a ruin only the few biggest buildings remained standing. sears budgets but you know absolutely far people it was very important because finally we stopped retreating offices in general started to learn how to win a stunning grant as many as two million people died in the battle their bodies still being discovered today but although the red army of the soviet people didn't know it yet they had reached a turning point in the bloodiest war in human history tom watson r.t. and on our website r.t. dot com we've got

a whole section dedicated to that of the entire second world war i there you can find stories of the people who witnessed the horrific events of the starling ground battle with their own eyes as well as and more about those who led the red army to fix. after a very short break here and i'll see it's time to get rather chilly take a look at the very tough daily lives of those are living in one of the coldest regions on the planet just a second out here not seen. you know i could kind of sort of understand the mindset of an evil.
